The songwriters are battling it out for a second year in a row for the Laugh Laugh Please Please title for the most prolific cross-border author with the best Eurovision song. First up, Bulgaria’s own Borislav Milanov, bringing us entries from North Macedonia, Malta and, of course, Bulgaria.

We also welcome Emmy, travelling from her Norwegian corner of the witch woods to represent Ireland, and in our first interview of 2025 we discuss all things Laika Party: astronauts, rockets, the space race, and, of course, dogs. You don’t want to miss it!
